So anyone have any thoughts on what the issue is here or has seen nmap

Dennis,

Thanks for your bug report. We always strive to make Nmap portable whenever
we can, and we do actively support Solaris as a platform. However, our
efforts on Solaris are primarily geared towards the GCC compiler. If you
would like to take some time to hunt down a solution to the problems you
cited, we would be more than happy to accept a patch and credit you.

To help you get started, it looks like you have a problem with an
incompatible C++ stdlib. Can you try with -library=stlport4 as this link
[1] suggests?
